I switched my optional subject from computer science to art last year, and it’s been almost a year now. I don’t think I realized how much that choice would matter to me.
Art feels like a pause in the middle of everything else. It doesn’t feel like a subject I have to prepare for...it feels like a break where my brain can breathe. I usually finish what’s assigned in class and then end up sketching random things on the side, mostly when I’m bored or just thinking. And ofc, I score well- Bonus! heh
Next school year will be my last year of school, which is strange to think about. I don’t think I’ll miss school itself, but I might miss how my entire sense of time has always revolved around it—months and seasons tied to exams, competitions, holidays, and routines I’ve lived with for years. It’s funny how normal that feels until you realize it won’t always be this way.
Lately I’ve also been thinking about starting a small YouTube channel—just sketching. Nothing fancy. Calm videos, background music, drawing for the sake of drawing. I don’t know if I’ll actually do it yet, but the thought feels nice. Like another quiet space.
